Synopsis

Oh, How We Laughed*


* Cried, chuckled, suffered, retreated, enjoyed, blanked, masked, cringed, smiled, consumed, planned, protested, disappeared, felt, ruminated, withdrew, celebrated, raged, meditated, screamed, froze, danced, existed...


Jace Reh and Theo Brown bring together artwork, poetry, and prose from Queer, Disabled South Australians for the anthology, Oh, How We Laughed*. Creativity and laughter are universal. They aren't a constant but are a strong point of connection. We experience fear, joy, loss, exhilarating highs, depressive lows, and so much more. How we express those emotions might be different or not at all, yet amongst all this we can always strive for a laugh.


The creative works featured in this anthology draw from a wide range of experiences and expressions. They share thoughts through fiction and pure creative forms. They delve into sharp realisations and convey these in direct non-fiction texts. There are pieces that feel like mere glimpses into single moments of the creators' lives. They all collate into this anthology, which is designed as an exhibition in printed form. The works are presented for readers to browse at their leisure, focus as intently as desired, or be guided from start to finish as curated to balance the peaks in emotions and pace of the individual styles.


Oh, How We Laughed* is the second book in the Blue Feet Anthology series and is edited by Alex Dunkin. The first book in the series, Green, is an anthology by South Australian emerging creative researchers.


Oh, How We Laughed* is a showcase of creative expression featuring Theo Brown, Freddie Foeng, KJ Hepworth, Rainier Hotchkiss, Sally Ann Hunter, J.A.M., Fig Kershaw, Victoria Knight, Tabitha Lean, Leon McAloney, Tushar Patel, Jace Reh, Tikari Rigney, Denver Rurrk, and Cameron Rutherford.
